Considerations Before Installing

Consider the following items before you install equipment.
•
For equipment designed to operate in a typical Telco environment that is environmentally controlled,
choose a site that has the following characteristics:
◦ Temperature-controlled and humidity-controlled, such that the maximum ambient room
temperature shall not exceed 40°C (104ºF).
◦
Clean and free from airborne materials that can conduct electricity.
◦ Well ventilated and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight.
◦
Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
◦ Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices.
•
For equipment designed to be installed in environments that are not environmentally controlled,
such as outdoor enclosures, see the product data sheet or for environmental conditions,
temperature, and humidity.
•
Establish at least 3 inches clearance on all sides for effective ventilation. Do not obstruct the air
intake vent on the front, side, or rear ventilation grills. Locate the system away from heat sources.
•
Make sure that your equipment is placed in an area that accommodates the power consumption and
component heat dissipation specifications.
